"We'll be talking about developing new technology today. As you should know, the Granger Group started the establishment by making cars and household appliances. A few years ago, new technology was introduced to the world, and many people fought over it. The Granger Group managed to grab hold of a part of the marker, and we mainly produced phones and computers. Now, we're thinking about venturing into the Al industry. However, our company hasn't had a breakthrough in the research in this field for the past few years. Therefore, the problem now is whether we should continue developing our Al division. If we do, we have to solve the lack of talented technical personnel in order to move things in the research and development of our Al technology forward."
I bit a few mouthfuls of bread and nodded, "Are there any senior employees in the R&D department?"
Irvin shook his head, "No. Every year, we'll pay a high price to hire talents to join us. However, we didn't make much progress."
"The meeting doesn't begin in another one hour, does it? Can I meet these people?"
A little surprised by my request, he nodded. Seeing that I had almost finished my breakfast, he got up and said, "Sure."
I followed him out of the office. I could tell that the Granger Group had high hopes in artificial intelligence. Two floors of the building were assigned for its research purposes.
As expected from a research and development department, there were strict regulations that we needed to follow to enter the facilities. Irvin and I put on protective suits.
I took a rough look at the equipment when we were inside the facility. As I didn't know much about the machines, I went straight to meet the researchers.
Due to limited time, I only had a brief talk with the researchers before returning to the office with Irvin.
"What do you think? Any comments after the visit?" Irvin sat down behind his desk and asked with a slight smile.
I spent a moment to articulate my answer, "Why are there only foreigners in the research team? And why do they have the absolute right to make decisions?"
